absque tali causa

absque tali causa (abs-kwee tay-lIkaw-z[schwa]), adv. [Law Latin] Without such cause. • In common-law pleading, this was part of the larger phrase de injuria sua propria, absque tali causa (“of his own wrong, without such cause”) appearing in a reply that a trespass plaintiff made to counter a defendant’s claim of excuse. In an assault case, for example, if a defendant pleaded that he had struck the plaintiff in self-defense, the plaintiff could reply that the defendant was guilty of his own wrong committed without such cause as alleged. See DE INJURIA.
